Talk about rare, I believe this is an actual Brociner labeled KHorn. This would be incredibly rare!

Ibiza, do you have any plans on coming back to Maryville?

My bil was ready to pick em up. Pat, if you aren't willing to share, or your first start figuring out how much profit you can make, before helping others, it might be better not to chum the waters at all.

there always are replacement belts. This dude is just too far down in the gene pool to realize that fact. :-)

Pat, are you still around?

Tube, what amps would you consider driving them? I know they make a vast jump in required abilities between the Series I and the IV/Vs.

Pat, I would be interested in the Signatures if you want to pass the info along. Like all the Sequerras, you need to set them up exactly right to fully appreciate them.
thx dave

Or will it return with the majority of proceeds going to the museum?

So we are locked out and disinvited?

The one that never was...

He is inferring your passive/aggressive behavior that you would rather throw it in a pond than selling it for a lesser scheduled price, and/or not quoting a price with photos for the other 2A3 based amp.
Most folks here enjoy straight forward, matter of fact pricing without perceived histrionics.

Zaw pulling a fast one, again.

Tell Joe Roberts I said "Hi!" when he shows up for the inspection of the WE gear.

Neil, if you want the Karlson, I would be glad to take the rest if that would work out. The Sansui gear and the Neat TT would give me a solid mono Japanese setup, I already have the Pioneer PAX coaxials.

Any ETA, and what is klipsch's. Tag?

Yep, that is a gorgeous 16A. IIRC, the repros are in the $5K to $7K range.
This sounded divine, at Jeffrey Jackson's house.

Lars, there are multiple ways to skin any cat. Having handled a couple large stereo estates, EBay is not always the best method to get gear in the most sympathetic and caring of hands, nor may it raise the most money for the museum. It is, however, one of the least troublesome of methods if you want to do a minimum of work and fussing.
The L-H sale did include the center console, and came about due to Peter Hegeman selling it before he succumbed from cancer.
As I pointed out earlier, the best way to raise money for the museum is to have a subscribed ante to get in the select auction, so the ante more than doubles the 10% slice the auction will bring, rendering any difference in the hammer price moot. I have been in fundraising auctions for a number of years. Getting the gate to cover all of your needed fundraising and expenses is the single best way to successfully fundraise.
The Kinzers, Young, Schulmann, and the two California auction houses all have substantial subscriber bases, and a much higher level of established trust than EBay, and they all work harder on the phones to get the word out to the well heeled clients that just love the Western Electric, Marantz, Vitavox, and other delectable gear in this auction. Depending who you want to win the gear, and how much you want to realize from the auction, and how much you are willing to depress the sale, all factor into which vehicle you choose to conduct the sale.
Putting the auction on EBay effectively divorces the connection to Klipsch and PWK, because Klipsch still does not want or seek an EBay identity to conduct business. I also thing this auction is going to turn into a donut sale, where the significant gear will be shipped mainly to Europe or the Asian rim, if it follows the estate dispersal sales I have seen with similar historically significant gear. C'est la vie.

Do a little digging, and sell the Lowther Hegeman to the Brit that purchased the stereo pair from Stuart's son before he passed for $25K on Ebay three years ago.
For Item #84, the 15 " LU-1004 is a Jensen woofer.

There is little reason to not be able to forecast a range of values for some of the closely connected gear that PWK collected, directly used, and Klipsch fanatics would dearly love to purchase, and realize a larger return. Let me give a fer instance.....
The Brook 12A that Paul has would garner $1500 to $2200, in an open EBay sale, based on prior sales history. 10% of that proceed would result in $220 being generated for KHMA. Run an open bid thread on the Klipsch forum, and require that all folks bidding on it MUST make a $200 registration donation to KHMA, just to participate in the bidding.
I am sure that Iain, myself, and another five to ten people would cough to have a chance to win the amp. Even if the amp sold for $1500, having five people kick $200 would net the museum $1,000, plus $1,500 for the auction. Ten people getting involved would net the museum $2,000, plus another $1,500 for the auction.
There are strategic bid sales that would greatly enhance traffic, interest, and better support the museum effort without needing to provide an auction house with 11% to 30% of the net revenue, while also rewarding registered forum members for their needed support. A little creativity and groundwork would seemingly enhance this surplus dispersal, more so than an EBay sell off en toto.

There are enough collectors here that you could sell 10% of the collectibles here, and take not more than a minor hit on the net sale.
If the powers that be want these items to be valued and curated rather than resold, this is the first place I would think to sell them. EBay will give a higher return on average, but there the buyer will have very, very little motivation to hold onto the gear in most cases.

Unfortunately, these are 'S' shorthorns. Nice to know the seller took your info, transferred it, and is selling the "truth."
Thanks, Jim.
-
Yep.

Maybe Jim Hunter told him that only 48 OF THAT COMBINATION were made, but there were over a thousand shorthorns that came from the factory that year, if my two factory shorthorn serials are correct. The vast majority had the EV 15WK woofers, not the EV 12BW woofer. The 15WK is a far superior woofer, and I would never expect to sell my shorthorn for $600. That is steep.
